Rebirth

I like the positivity of Johns message & what they are trying to do, its a business so I can understand the double-shipping on certain characters, with that price point its do'able for me as many of you have said IF the quality is there.
Its also good to hear DiDio saying it isn't a reboot, some new No.1s but no universe changing stuff.
I'm gutted King / Seeley are off Grayson but I gave them a chance and they blew me away so I'll definitely be giving the next team a chance. I'll be interested to see who takes over from Johns / Fabok on Justice League, I was enjoying their run and had hoped it would of lasted longer.
I'm keeping an open mind but if in a few years time there's another event called 'Afterbirth' I may not be onboard for that one!

Means a lot that you like it Bob, you know when you have a concept but it is formless and your brain can't quite shape it as you want - I wanted to bring some Lynda Carter 70s happiness to Ms Gadot's turn.
I do think that adding some colour would be well received that DeviantArt looks dynamic and powerful to me.

Hey Steph,
Sorry to hear about you losing so much of your prized possessions - I am sure it is the emotional attachments which hurt as much as the financial. I was burgled once and for no good reason they trashed my entire collection [mostly 90s Xmen but I loved them at the time], they didn't take any of the books but almost all has been thrown & ripped up - I was more gutted about them than my missing TV & Laptop!
Anyway if there is anything we in the TC community can do let us know. I know accepting money etc. can be awkward and as a community it would be nice to support someone who gives up their free time every week to give us entertainment.
Perhaps you could share a Amazon Wish-List from your account and people if they wish could buy you some replacement books?

I've been trying to learn digital painting, so thought I would share my Wonder Woman.
Like many I am influenced by Bob's passionate feelings towards this character so I decided to try to create a retro 70s feel Gal Gadot in the current BvS costume but looking a touch happier!

Grayson

Just heard on Word balloon that Tom King is leaving Grayson, such a shame I wonder if Seeley is going to hop off too - I think Janin is perfect for the Grayson / Spy world but if they are going to go full Nightwing again I suspect he will be shuffled onto something else also.
I'm sure we'll get details soon on the Rebirth implications.

That is gutting, I will hold out hope for the creative team to remain - I also expected the end of the current super-spy direction but thought that this team could take him on another interesting route. But they delivered with Grayson so I will give them the benefit of the doubt & as long as we get some monthly Master Richard I will go with it.

The date looks good from this side of the pond
Good Q&A team, thanks also to all the new contributors on the site - I use this as my primary source of recommendations for Indy comics to check out.

Yes me too, always a concern that a successful team is pulled off a character they have really developed and put on a character deemed higher profile.
I am clinging onto the fact that both King / Seeley write multiple books monthly so if they want to stay enough I think they could manage it.

Gets my vote too, I love how they write Grayson - they keep him on model as a character making him relatable without feeling the need to make less of his abilities. Its always been a frustration that previously he has been used as a plot device to demonstrate another characters skill levels. If you've been trained by the best since a young age you are going to be one highly skilled badass and he is, just not a broody sadsack.
So far every issue has clicked for me & I hope this continues, its great to see writers enjoying a character but not being afraid to drop little in-jokes & poke fun at the characters history, the art is perfect for these stories I hope DC holds onto this team on this book for 50 could be the best Dick run for some time.

Great fun show - well done guys, I personally enjoyed the quiz format as I played along:
9 / 25
Some of those questions were hard & some just wouldn't materialize in my head even though I knew it!
The podcasts that I enjoy the most are the ones where those involved are enjoying themselves, hearing you guys laughing & beating on each others questions was excellent, a good time was had by all.

Lazarus

Having reread the first 12 issues again this week I can honestly say that as great as it is monthly, its is amazing to read ala trade just excellent.
I can see it really working as a TV show, it has all the machinations, power plays & hidden agendas to be a big hit if it gets good writers / production.

Lazarus

Rucka was on Word Balloon recently saying that Lazarus was doing great Indy numbers [13 - 14K monthly] but if it was at the big'2 it would probably of been cancelled.
It's just such high quality Lark's art is sublime & Rucka is a master and writing interlaced storylines with characters that have such well defined agency. The back-matter is excellent too, lots of detail and its a world they have spent a long time creating and fleshing out. Rucka made a comment on Word Balloon about the last issue which made me go 'huh?' and reread a few issues - makes me wonder what else I have missed - constant high quality output.

Yes I am loving this book, lots of fun with a underlying message but add Sean G Murphy's art and it is spectacular the man just delivers awesome on every level - great book!
It's one of the few books that I get digitally that I will be buying the trade & mostly for the art-work.

I think he cleverly stopped on the edge of time for dramatic effect...
...however if Bobby was right and he was going to continue the penalty must be a watching of the recent FF movie in a Mojo / Clockwork Orange style!
